Blueberry Lemon Cookies

Almost every time I go to the store, I can resist buying lemons and limes. They seems to go with so many things, and even when a recipe doesn't call for it, I like to add a little bit of zest to lighten things up. So, I had some lemons sitting in the fridge calling my name. Sitting next to the lemons were some blueberries. I was secretly wishing the blueberries were raspberries, because lemon and raspberry are one of my favorite combos. I pulled everything out to get baking some Blueberry Lemon Cookies- let's see if they turn out. By the time I had all the ingredients out including a few white chocolate chips, my boy had devoured the blueberries . . . so I replaced the fresh for some frozen and my idea still turned out delish!
